Chapter 2384: Unnecessary (1)
He wanted his mom to blow on his wound, but his father was getting in the way. What was his father trying to do? Er Bao threw a tantrum and stretched out his arm to push Zhai Sheng away. “Bad! Bad Daddy!”
Er Bao said these words especially clearly.
Qiao Nan looked at Er Bao sternly. “Er Bao, what did Mom teach you? You can’t disrespect your dad like this. It’s hard for Dad to be working and supporting the family.” Qiao Nan had never been exceptionally lax with the children just because she had given birth to them at the age of forty.
So what if they had come later in life? It was exactly because she loved her children that she had to inculcate the right values in them so that they wouldn’t go astray.
Er Bao felt aggrieved. It was obviously his dad bullying him, but why was his mom helping his dad instead of him?
Da Bao and San Bao had no idea how to comfort their sibling. With their dad around, no one dared to get their mom to carry them. It wouldn’t take long before their dad would carry them away. They had had too many such experiences. As long as Zhai Sheng was at home, Da Bao and San Bao never bothered to crawl into Qiao Nan’s embrace.
But Er Bao was different. He was clingy to begin with, and as long as he saw an opportunity to let his mom carry him, he would take it. Moreover, it was rare that Da Bao and San Bao weren’t fighting with him. As such, Er Bao took on the challenge even with his father present. He was still young, but one day, he would grow up. Then, he would definitely deal with his father!
“Er Bao?” Qiao Nan called out gently and Er Bao hummed. Qiao Nan stroked Er Bao’s face and planted a kiss as compensation. “Er Bao, do you remember what Mom taught you? Dad works very hard and we should love him, shouldn’t we? Go and kiss your dad.”
Qiao Nan would definitely lecture her son since he had disrespected her husband. But Qiao Nan was Zhai Sheng’s wife and knew that Zhai Sheng had purposely stood in the way and bullied their son. Of course, she had to help her husband. But now that she had done that, it was time to help her son.
Er Bao was still upset. His dad was annoying and liked to bully him! He wasn’t going to kiss his dad!
Da Bao sauntered over and smacked Er Bao’s leg. “Kiss, kiss.” Hadn’t he seen his father’s look of disgust? Da Bao probably understood that their father probably didn’t want Er Bao to kiss him either. Yes, at such a time, the three of them had to band together. Their dad always bullied them.
But they were triplets, after all, and would do everything together. San Bao pursed her lips and supported herself by placing her hand on Zhai Sheng’s knee. She puckered up her lips and made a kissing sound.
In an instant, the masculine Zhai Sheng was surrounded by the three babies who insisted on kissing him. Zhai Sheng’s face was dark and his expression sour.
But these three children were his children, and his most beloved woman, Qiao Nan, had given birth to them. Whether or not he was willing to do it, Zhai Sheng had no choice but to bend down and let the three children kiss him.
Er Bao left a mouthful of saliva on Zhai Sheng’s left cheek, while Da Bao did the same on his right cheek. As the only girl, San Bao left a slobbering kiss on Zhai Sheng’s head. Because of all the saliva that had been left all over him, Zhai Sheng could probably save on washing his face.
Because of all the kissing that had been going on, Er Bao had forgotten all about his little tantrum earlier. He giggled and fell into Zhai Sheng’s embrace with Da Bao and San Bao. At this time, Er Bao had finally remembered the advantages of his father. His father was stronger than his mom and could carry them high up in the air. Like now, their mom had gotten tired from carrying just one of them, but their father could carry all three of them at once.
Er Bao felt bad for Qiao Nan needing to carry his chubby self. But now that it was Zhai Sheng doing so, Er Bao felt that he was only a little baby who knew nothing at all. There was no need for him to care about anything other than growing up happily.
Seeing that the father and his children had made up, Miao Jing secretly heaved a sigh of relief. She had not realized it earlier, but she had recently found out how childish her usually mature son could get.
He was already a grown man, and yet, he was fighting with his sons over a woman! It sounded a little ridiculous, but that was how it was!
It was only normal for the children to be clingy to their mom since they were still young. But her son was a jealous incarnate. Zhai Sheng wouldn’t even let his own sons get close to Nan Nan! Sometimes, when he got more aggressive, even San Bao would be tossed aside. He was really…
Every time she saw her son trying to snatch things from her grandsons, Miao Jing had to resist the urge to butt in. If not for the fact that she was old, and if she still had the energy to do so, she would have interfered and dealt with this fool of a son she had!
In the past, she had always complained about the children in the Zhai family choosing to stay in the military. Her husband had been like that, and even her son and daughter had been like that too. What if that happened to her grandchildren too? The problem was that Zhai Sheng was no longer like that. As long as Zhai Sheng was not in the military and was at home, he was usually the main reason the children threw tantrums.
On one side were three adorable babies who had just celebrated their first birthday, and on the other was an old man of almost fifty. Miao Jing couldn’t understand why a soldier like Zhai Sheng had to play such childish games. Was he trying to make up for the childhood he had lost?
In short, when her son acted shamelessly, she didn’t even want to acknowledge that she had given birth to such a son. Miao Jing felt sorry for the triplets for giving them such a shameless father. It was her fault as a mother that she had not taught Zhai Sheng well. But she would only bear half of that responsibility. The other half belonged to Zhai Yaohui.
“Humph!” Zhai Yaohui coughed to warn Zhai Sheng to know his limits. They had once worried about Zhai Sheng having no one by his side if he did not get married. Now, they knew that even his children didn’t mean much to him because he had found the right person. Seeing how Zhai Sheng treated his sons as obstructions between him and Qiao Nan, Zhai Yaohui couldn’t stand it. How had they not known that Zhai Sheng was such an affectionate person? He was even getting jealous of his own sons!
